How to measure evaporated milk accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh evaporated milk on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of evaporated milk weighs about 252 grams (8.89 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts evaporated milk and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: A standard 12 oz can of evaporated milk is about 1½ cups; reconstitute leftovers with an equal amount of water to use as regular milk.
